Blessings

I’m very blessed. Three dogs with very different personalities, healthy dogs, Faye my partner companion and friend, snug little home, a lovely backyard. I give thanks.

Rain

We’ve had a long dry-ish spell, little rain has fallen since mid-May. We’re getting some very welcome precipitation this morning and the radar suggest more is coming today. That’s good, the water level in our ran barrels was getting uncomfortably low.

Rain is a blessing, filling barrels, watering the garden, lawn, farmers’ fields which were looking dry, leaving puddles for the birds to bathe in. I give thanks for rain as I try to give thanks for all things.

Thank you

I want to thank every one of you who have taken the time to visit my blog and look at my photos. A particular, deep, and genuine thank you to every person who makes the time to like a post, to comment, to follow me in my mental and photographic meanderings.

I started blogging in June 2013 with the notion of posting less than random thoughts about a number of topics (see About Me for some of those topics). Beyond that I was unsure how, how often I would post, whether people would read, what I would do if no one visited.

Since then I’ve discovered, or rediscovered, an interest in photography. The blog has concurrently evolved into a place to share a few of my photos, and also evolved into a place to share my gratitude for seeing, looking, and appreciating the blessings all around me. My snug home, my healthy dogs, finding beauty in the remarkable and the mundane. Most of all Faye, my sweetie.

I passed 300 posts and 2,000 views recently. Thank you very much, each and every one of my followers. I’m very pleased that you find my posts worth your time.

This is a drama free zone, free of complaints, struggle stories, anger, strife. There’s plenty of that out there for folks who want or need it. Not me, thank you very much. I prefer peace, appreciation, and contemplation. Though you will see the odd post that diverges from the theme, I will continue exploring, expanding on, sharing, it.
